All -- As can be seen from the from line messages are now sent to and from picklebeans.com :) The sulution was a combination of: 1) Changing MX record at dyndns.org 2) Adding picklebeans.com to defaulthost and defaultdomain (Thanks Lakus) 2) and ahhhh ...changing my ~/.muttrc "set hostname = pickledbeans.com", I noticed on my other test acount the From: line was corrrect.... ---- Comments ----- I am amazed at how easily it is to setup a mail server with qmail. I'm setting up in in the moutains was of Denver, CO (US) with 24K dailup connection to QWest, AMD 400 K6/2 box running Slackware Linux(7.1) and a "dynamic DNS" service provided by www.dyndns.org !! All I needed was qmail a couple of Linux-Howto, INSTALL. And I was 99% to where I wanted to be. Finaly one email to this list and I'm at 100%. I had no prior experience (or success) setting up mail services/software !!
